X Abstract

In this paper, we describe a system that recognises place names in natural language text and produces geographic maps and animations showing the geographical coverage of texts about a certain subject as it changes over time. As the system is built to analyse texts in many different languages, it restricts the usage of linguistic analysis tools to the minimum. Instead, it relies on a gazetteer containing place names in different languages and uses heuristics for disambiguation purposes.
